Inka Secret Blend Red Cristales Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Sunday 16 April, 2017 by Samuel

After having a bad experience with another member of the Inka family I went in to this cigar with an open mind and am so glad I did, this is a fantastic cigar. After cutting the cap did start to unravel but on the plus side the construction was excellent and uniform, it felt like a high quality cigar and held its ash extremely well. The draw was a little looser than I'd normally like but it did not hinder the experience. The burn was good, it did start to tunnel on occasion but always returned to an even burn. Where the cigar really shines is the flavour profile, it consists of a silky smooth and prominent sweetness with tangy and toasty/roasty notes and a hint of nuts, these flavours combine to create an almost floral/citrus character in the background. The aftertaste is divine; subtle sweet, tangy and nutty characteristics linger on the palate for a long time. Words don't do the taste of this cigar justice.

Unfortunately it started to rain heavily just as I was getting to the final third, I quickly clipped it and am confident that despite being previously smoked it will still be an excellent smoke.

Even with the slightly loose draw and the cap unravelling slightly I cannot rate this cigar any lower than 5/5, you would be fooled in to thinking you paid double for this beauty and I intend to add this to my list of go-to's. I would recommend using a punch instead of a cutter for this however.
